Apache CloudStack participates in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) offering various student projects aimed at enhancing the platform. Projects include creating a bootstrap-based GUI, adding Xen/XCP support for SDN, developing a 'cloud in a box' with DevCloud, and integrating Mesos for computational cluster deployment. Students are expected to contribute code, learn relevant technologies, and engage with the CloudStack community throughout the program.
